Specification ofLetters Ba'te'nt.

in the .art to which it appertains .to make and use the same, i

This invention relatesto improvements in gas burners and more particularlyto those designed for use in connection 'with hot plates and the like.

T Re e ehieet f th imehtien e-t Pr vide a b r e of h s e e ee er e ee structed that a maximum quantity of air y e fe h Wi h he see e t the hither a d 0 he flame. Wh le, hu t ing thereby insuring an intense heat and per feet combustion, consuming all the poison; w s e an wi at m n mum; theh pt en of gas forming the fuel v Another object is to so construct a burner of this character that the gas will be fed to t mi in hemh e h bu ne w h. great f e e repi ityi e f fyng with it a large amount of air and which causes P r eet mix n of th ren a n i s P ge to he h fher prepeh.

Another object isto provide aburner having a plurality of openings so arranged as to form air inlets for supplying fresh air. to the fire. while burning, thereby aiding in producing perfect combustion, resulting in a thick jelly-like flame which retainsal l the POiSOIlOUS get a d consume it Witho p rmitting any to pass off to the atmosphere,

lVith these and qther objects view, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, and the combination and arrangement of parts aswill :bemore fully described and claimed;

I This n r e sing 5 is of l height than the outer casing providing a space 10 between its top-and the perforated top of the outer casing and which constitutes the fuel oham-. ber of the burner through which the fuel passes previous to its exit-through the. series of apertures in the top 2 of the outer casing. The outer casing 1 is provided with oppositely disposed openings 11 formed in the "side walls thereof at points opposite the ends of the inner casing 5 and in which are fixed the smaller ends or apices 12 of funward from said casing. and their inner ends discharge into the inner casing.

A gas supply pipe 14 is provided with lat? eral branches 15 having inturned nipples 16 arranged to discharge into the mouths of the funnel-shaped members 13, the discharge apertures therein being so formed that the gas under pressure enters the funnels 13 under great force and very rapidly, thereby drawing with it into said funnels a large quantity of air sucked in from the surround ing atmosphere and the air and gas passed together into the mixing chamber formed in- :side the inner casing 5 where the initial mixing of the air and gas occurs. Thegas and air mixed in this chamber or casing 5 passes out from the opposite sides thereof through the V-shaped openings 8 into the outer casing and passes up over the inner casing into the space 10 between the top of said casing and the top 2 of the outer casing, and from thence it passes through the burner openings formed by the series of apertures 3 arranged in rows across the top 2 and spaced laterally apart where the gas is ignited and forms the heating flame. The

air which is sucked in between the series of gas that is fed to the burner the higher the flame produced, while with this peculiarly constructed burner, the flame thickens and is produced by'the large quantity of air mixed with the gas as it passes into the burner'and as it'passes out of the burner, air inlets being provided by the spaces 4 between the flames or rows of fire on top of the burner.

This burner may be supported in any suitable manner as may also the funnelshaped inlet members therefor, said members being here shown connected with the branch pipes 15 by plates 17 secured to the funnels and to said pipes.

I claim as my invention: a I 1. A gas burner comprising one chamber disposed within another, the inner chamber having outlet openings in opposite side walls and inlet openings arranged in its side walls in planes at right angles to the planes of the outlet openings, funnel-shaped inlet members arranged outside said outer chamber andhaving the apices thereof extending through the walls of said outer chamber into the inner chamber, and gas nipples discharging into the mouths of said funnelshaped members, the top of said outer chamber being disposed above that of the inner chamber and having fuel outlet openings the top of said outer casing having laterally spaced series of fuel outlet apertures arranged thereacross.

3. In a gas burner, the combination of a closed cylindrical outer casing, an inner casing disposed therein and having straight side walls, and curved ends conforming to the curvature of and fitting the opposed faces of'the outer casing, said inner casing being of less height than the outer casing, funnel-shaped inlet pipes arranged outside the outer casing and having their apices extending through the side walls of the outer casing and opening into the ends of the inner casing, the side walls of said inner casing having inverted V-shaped openings therein at their lower edges, and the top of said outer casing having laterally spaced series of fuel outlet openings.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
